Inventor of the integrated circuit, Jack Kilby dead at 81
If Edison and Ford were the the greatest inventors and influencers of the turn of the 20th century... then surely Jack Kilby was probably the most influential person of the late 21st century and for time immemorial...on our way of life.

A legend dies
